RECIPE | Salt & Vinegar Kale Chips

October 14, 2014 by Lindsay Ingalls Leave a Comment

Edith was begging for a snack this morning so I listed off her options – applesauce, banana, crackers- I got a no after every option. Since we are lacking in the grocery department right now I tried to rack my brain as to what other options we might have in the house. I thought about baking muffins and then I remembered we had a few bunches of kale in the crisper. I proposed the idea of making kale chips to her and she jumped up and ran to her Learning Tower ready to make kale chips (I took that as a big ol’ yes!)

I usually go for a cheezy kale chip or just plain olive oil with a dash of salt but today I decided to make salt & vinegar.

Also make sure you have a cute helper and taster on hand. You can see more photos of E helping make these kale chips over on Naturally Family.

What are you favorite kind(s) of kale chips? I love cheezy kale chips made in the dehydrator but when I’m in a pinch I like to do olive oil, tamari, nutritional yeast and a dash of pepper (same directions as above) and toss them in the oven for quick crisping.

This week is all about foods that I am loving this week.

Hot Teas | Although I am a coffee lover I have been cutting back to no more than one cup per day. Now that it is fall I crave nice warm beverages to warm me up so I after my cup of coffee I have been turning to teas to warm me up and enjoy throughout the day.

Kale Chips | I am in love with kale chips, but I mean these days who isn’t? I think my craving is in over drive because I have enjoyed so many tasty ones lately and my desire for snacks is over the top right now. I must pick up some kale next week to make my own tasty batch of kale chips. What’s your favorite flavor?

Raw Macaroons | Not only am I craving some nice savory kale chips I am also loving these new tasty macaroons.

Harvest Beers | Okay not really a food but I am loving them right now. Last weekend we had a harvest beer tasting and in a few weeks we are hosting a pumpkin beer tasting. If only I wasn’t breastfeeding I could enjoy more than a few sips. What is your favorite harvest or pumpkin beer?

Soups, Stews & Chilis | As son as the leaves start to change my weekly menu has at least one soup, stew or chili on it. Last week I made a delicious squash-bulgar chili (recipe to come) and this week we had split pea soup. What is your favorite soup, stew or chili recipe?

Love Me Some Kale Chips

August 20, 2012 by Lindsay Ingalls 2 Comments

I am a huge fan of kale chips, I mean nowadays who isn’t? There is nothing better than having a chip that is also healthy, but for it to be good it needs to also be tasty. So what I am saying is that not all kale chips are created equal. I love to make my own kale chips (which usually are the best) but sometimes I like to try the number of packaged varieties that you can find in stores today.

The most recent kale chips that I tried (and really enjoyed) were Pacific Northwest Kale Chips which are actually on special right now on Vegan Cuts.

Neil and I took the three flavors of Pacific Northwest Kale Chips on our recent road trip down to Rhode Island. The first flavor we tired was the Cheezy Crunch which we thought would have been our favorite flavor because who doesn’t love cheezy flavors? Don’t get me wrong they were good but not quite as cheezy as I would have liked.

The second flavor we tired was the Stumptown Original which were really tasty and I loved the use of hazelnuts in the flavoring. It’s not often that you find kale chip season made with hazelnuts usually you see cashews or sunflower seeds so this was a nice nutty change.

We liked all three but in the end we decided that the Glacier Peak Greens, which was a combo of cilantro, jalapeno and lime, to be our favorite of the three. We were both surprised how much we enjoyed this flavor combination. Neil isn’t a huge fan of cilantro and although I am I wasn’t sure if the lime and cilantro would be over powering but in the end the flavors were super subtle and really flavorful. We finished the whole bag of Glacier Peak Greens down to the last crumb on the way to Rhode Island.

Overall: Big fan of the kale chips and I loved the packaging-the chips stayed super crispy!

{Closed} 12 Days of Giveaways: Rhythm Superfoods Kale Chips

December 12, 2011 by Lindsay Ingalls

Now who doesn’t love kale chips? I am addicted to kale chips especially ones that are cheezy or ranch flavored. They remind me of those flavored corn chips that ever youngster loves so much. The BBQ Kale chips became very popular for a client of mine who has a love for BBQ potato chips; he was able to sub out his normal potato chips for the BBQ Kale chips- a tasty and healthier option than his deep fried seasoned potato chips.

RHYTHM KALE CHIPS are the evolution of the standard chip. Each 2 oz bag of Rhythm Kale Chips starts out as a whole bunch of garden fresh kale. We then mix it with one of our hand-crafted dressings made from a perfect blend of fresh vegetables, cashews, juices, herbs & spices. Instead of baking or frying, our healthy chips are air crisped at a low temperature which maintains the RAW living enzymes and maximizes nutritional potency.

KALE is a nutritional powerhouse. As a member of the cabbage family (Brassica oleracea Acephala), it’s rich in powerful antioxidants, phyto nutrients and carotenoids. It’s also an excellent source of Vitamin A, C, K, B6, Calcium, Manganese, Iron, Potassium, and fiber.

The winner of this giveaway will be able to enjoy all 5 flavors:
Zesty Nacho
Bombay Curry
Kool Ranch
Texas BBQ
Mango Habanero

PLUS….

Rhythm Sweet Potato Chips!

Not only are these chips crunchy and delicious they are:
Oil-Free
Fat-Free
Raw-Vegan
Gluten-Free
Heart-Healthy
Rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C

Your chip fetish won’t skip a beat when you make the switch to Rhythm Sweet Potato Chips.

Sweet potatoes, a true American superfood, are one of the highest ranked vegetables on the nutrition scale. They’re essentially a perfect food. These delicious root veggies are high in fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, potassium and manganese. They can also help stabilize blood sugar, which means they’re a good choice for diabetics.

You’ll try both delicious flavors:
Sea Salt
Hickory BBQ

Recipe of The Week: Sweet & Spicy Kale Chips

April 25, 2011 by Lindsay Ingalls 1 Comment

1 bunch of kale, ripped into chip sized pieces, rinse and dry
2 dates
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup cashews
1/4C nutritional yeast
1T Sudachi juice (can substitute lime)
1t chipotle chili powder
3/4t garlic powder
3/4t paprika
1t shoyu (can substitute soy sauce, tamari or Braggs)

Place the ripped kale in a large bowl. Place the dates through shoyu in a blender and process until smooth; pour over the kale.
Massage the sauce into the kale until evenly distributed.
Dehydrate method: Place on dehydrator trays and dehydrate at 118F for 10 to 12 hours (however I doubt that once you start check in them every few hours that there will be any left by the time the days over). Oven method: Preheat oven to 350F. Place the sauced kale on a baking sheet and make for 12-15 minutes until the kale chips are crispy but not burned.
